Well, it doesn't really matter... Windows is a bad buy whether or not its an Apple fuckup. Maybe, MS even released a "service patch" to break it to make Apple look bad, and Apple is just happy to oblige. At anyrate, MS is just a con job whether or not this issue involves them.
To that end, I've seen many first-gen iMacs that are running OSX quite well. I mean, as far as that goes, they're running OS 8 software on an OS 9-era computer running OSX. Now, IANAMEOFB (I am not a Mac Expert or fanboy), but, I don't think that you say Macs have this issue so much more than Windows. Perhaps I am wrong, and the mods will prove this, but I think that the backcompat issue is one of the culture as a whole, and not just Macs or MS.
Beware terms of service! They still probably own the camera, and therefore lease it to you, under certian terms. These terms may include owning pictures.
What?!? SCO stay out of it? Some of the developers who write Mozilla did so on unpaid copies of Linux, so SCO owns what they made, right? That means... SCO OWNS MOZILLA!
I don't agree with the double standard put forth by the poster of this article. Why do many people complain when patents are enforced, however, it's fine for Mozilla people to go ahead and create a patent. I believe that was a little thing some folks around here call "sarcasm." Well, around here, people probably call it "czarkazm," but you get my point, I think...
How long before you think they catch on to real browser innovation, like mouse gestures and tabbed browsing? You can never "catch on" to real innovation. If M$ adopted tabbed browsing, then they'd not be "innovating" but, in RIAA's terms at least, be "stealing." Innovation would be coming up with something altogether different from the current model of making browsers. I can't mention examples here, because I am not an innovator in browser technology, and morever, don't claim to be. Even if I had examples, I'd post them to Mozilla long before I opened them into public domain here...
1. Yes, but in Soveit Russia does the beowulf cluster of Linux that you imagine run the Robot Musician Overlords that I, for one, welcome?

3. Profit!!!
That's OK. The RIAA will just sign the robots, and then 01 will get mad about supression of AI rights, and they will start a war. Maybe we'd even have to scorch the sky! All over RIAA!
Uh... no. 15% is very fair, as compared to $500/mo. account fees, $0.07/transaction, and 3.5% fees. Really, when you look at it, for a one-cent fee, paying $0.07 per transaction is f***ing insane, so I appriciate the reduced fees.
I wonder if anyone but RIAA makes money on this? Artists? Do the credit card companies make money on this? They probably make a mint! Methinks that Apple should be able to strong arm Visa a little into better rates on micropayments.
Well, this is interesting. Now instead of hearing FUD about our rightous War On Terror, they get to participate in the FUD! How appropiate that such an incredible fiction makes its way as a video game...
Been there, done that. McD has previously done promos for BS and *NSYNC (or OUTOFSYNC?). Still though, McD is throwing a curveball with their recent tech promos. I mean, you can take your Apple laptop, go to McD, pay for a reprocessed collection of $FOOBAR-cides, and get an hour's access on an 802.11b/g to download iTunes songs won at McD. McD. It's not just for fat anymore.
OK, bad pun alert. If you hate puns, go away. Now. Run.

A recent study finds yet one more reason to avoid cheap Chinese food. The study found that in addition to playing hell with the blood pressure of its victims, MSG may restrict people's choice of information, subject people's unprotected browsers to viruses, spam and popups, and kill the user's penguins.

I'll put it this way: whether or not this story was made up, what matters is that, a) we were gullible enough to believe it, and that b) it makes sense for that to have happened, considering Faux's prior lawsuits, ala Al Franken.

Not, of course, that Windows doesn't completely fuck up on older hardware, or that MS doesn't break other companies stuff...

They are the spyware.

They cost about the same these days, anyway...
Those aren't free... they cost $25,000 a piece, or $1mil after lawyer fees... kinda like Linux nowadays.
As if you could ever get a #2SS for $4.59 anymore... price(NO_2, SIZE_SS) != 4.59

Not true. The owner of greens.org, Cameron Spitzer, is a major contributor to TLDP, and a Debian master-sensei.
They already did.
